France's 10-year government bond yields have reached 5% for the first time since 2002, rising sharply from 3.2% in late February. Concerns over the country's public finances and political stability have been cited as key drivers of the increase in borrowing costs.

France's borrowing costs have risen above 5% for the first time in 24 years, as financial markets react to political instability and the government's failure to pass a budget. The yield on France's benchmark 10-year government bond briefly touched 5% before easing slightly to 4.99%. The country has been experiencing increasingly violent street protests since September, when student demonstrations over deteriorating school conditions expanded into broader unrest over the cost of living. Riots have resulted in looting of stores and the burning of a town hall in Limoges. Politically, no single party has held a parliamentary majority since President Emmanuel Macron called a snap election in 2024, creating a gridlock that has blocked pension reform and spending measures. France's budget deficit stood at 5.1% of GDP in 2025, with debt at 115.6% of GDP, and both figures are forecast to worsen without corrective action. International lenders, including Japanese fund managers, have withdrawn from or reduced lending to France, while others have demanded higher interest rates. A market strategist at Ebury noted that French political risk is also weighing on the euro against major currencies, and expressed doubt that any budget passing parliament would adequately address the deficit.

Brian Schwartz, CEO of H.I.G. Capital, appeared on Bloomberg's 'Bloomberg Deals' with host Dani Burger to discuss challenges facing private equity managers in selling assets.

Published in the Financial Times' Alphaville section by Robin Wigglesworth, the article addresses the concept of 'index vigilantes.' The limited available text characterizes them with the phrase 'not the regulators we want, or the regulators we need. But at least it's something?' suggesting they function as an informal or surrogate form of market oversight. The full article is behind a paywall and further detail is not available from the supplied text.

Argentina's bonds have experienced a sharp selloff that caught bullish investors off guard, according to Bloomberg Markets. The decline reflects a combination of a broader emerging markets pullback and growing concerns about President Javier Milei's reelection prospects, as well as uncertainty over Argentina's capacity to meet upcoming debt payment obligations worth billions of dollars.

The article from Next Event Horizon Substack reports on escalating regulatory conflict between Ohio authorities and prediction market operators. The Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC) sent a letter to its sports gaming and fantasy contest licensees warning them to immediately cease providing services—including liquidity provision, market making, integrity monitoring, and technology services—to prediction market operators offering sports event contracts in Ohio without a state sports gaming license. Licensees were given until October 30 to confirm compliance, with the commission threatening suitability investigations and potential license suspension or revocation for non-compliance. Simultaneously, Polymarket filed a federal lawsuit against Ohio officials, arguing the state's enforcement actions violate the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause and are preempted by the Commodity Exchange Act. Ten companies had previously received cease-and-desist letters from the OCCC with a Friday deadline; most platforms remained operational past that deadline. Ohio legislators have also introduced bills that would classify sports event contracts as sports betting (SB 430) or ban election contracts (SB 479), though little time remains before the legislative session ends December 17. The article also covers Utah suing Kalshi, notably including liquidity providers at Susquehanna as defendants; the CFTC opening public comment on swap definitions that could affect prediction market classification; Stifel research showing prediction markets generated over $82 billion in trading volume in September but grew more slowly than traditional sportsbooks; and trading activity on Kalshi's Jay-Z Super Bowl halftime show market that preceded a news report by roughly 30 hours.

The WSJ article covers three topics based on the available text: Elon Musk reportedly ordered a slowdown of Starlink service that impaired Ukraine's drone operations and caused panic in Kyiv; autism-therapy workers allege that large chains pressured them to increase patient treatment hours; and the New York Stock Exchange is reported to be losing ground to competitors in attracting major IPO listings.

The article, written by Rod Dubitsky on his Substack, examines Security Benefit Life's (SBL) use of short-term loans to affiliated companies, arguing the practice raises significant capital adequacy concerns. Dubitsky reports that as of year-end 2025, SBL held over $5.5 billion in affiliated short-term loans, a 5.6-fold increase from 2023. He notes that six recurring borrowers accounted for 80% of SBL's 2024 short-term loans and reappeared in 2025, which he argues calls into question whether the loans are genuinely short-term in nature. Dubitsky contends that short-term loans carry a risk-based capital requirement of only 0.39%—comparable to AAA bonds—versus requirements that could be up to 80 times higher if classified as long-term loans. He describes this as capital arbitrage, asserting SBL is financing affiliated entities at minimal capital cost. He also notes that 57% of the outstanding loan balances were drawn in December 2025, which he interprets as a sign that SBL's balance sheet may be used to park risky assets for its parent company, Eldridge. He raises the possibility that Eldridge may be experiencing liquidity problems. The article references a Bloomberg report on similar practices at Delaware Life and Clear Spring, both connected to Mark Walter, and notes business and ownership ties between Eldridge, SBL, Todd Boehly, and Guggenheim Partners. Dubitsky closes with specific recommendations to the NAIC—urging stricter capital treatment for all affiliate loans—and to the Kansas Insurance Department, calling for a targeted examination of SBL.
